Do Now: 4/4/11

All the doors don't need to be locked I just think that maybe we could just insert cameras so we could monitorif any unknown people enter the school. So that there's some sort of security.



List some possible solutions to our focus issue:

1. Installing cameras, NOT locking all the doors
2. Putting recycing bins in the hallways.
3. Making sure all students have ID's.
4. Putting encouraging posters/reminders near the bins.
